Shopping

Sirmione and its surrounding areas offer many shopping opportunities for locals and tourists, for daily shopping, for personal pleasure and for taking home fashionable “souvenirs”.

It is possible to live in and shop in Sirmione all year round thanks to the many shops and businesses in the historic town centre and in the Colombare and Lugana neighbourhoods.

You can also shop throughout the year at local markets and shopping centres.
